Description
In the years after emancipation, Lizzie and her brother Paul are eager to learn when they discover a new school built for freed slaves. As they step into classrooms filled with possibility, they confront the challenges of starting over—finding their voices, building community, and holding onto hope in a world still shaped by injustice. Through their determination and curiosity, the story illuminates the transformative power of education and the resilience required to claim freedom in everyday life. With vivid historical detail and an accessible, emotionally grounded narrative style, this book brings a pivotal chapter of American history to life for young readers.
